People are inherently self centered. And some either don't know or don't care about hurting others. Some of us learn empathy as a child or through painful situations. Some never do.

I know it hurts (I was bullied too) and can leave scars which may or may not heal.

Here is something very wise someone told me long ago: "When people are rude, angry, bullying etc, it's ALL about them and not you." They treat everyone the same. It's their mind set and has nothing to do with you personally.

Something I do when someone looks down on me or makes me feel less is smile and tell myself that it's their opinion an not true at all.

I think it helps to realize bullies' actions are from inside them and most probably have wounds or self esteem issues.
